Capacity and interface

The HGST Ultrastar He8 0F23268 is an 8TB enterprise hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and provides 128MB of cache. The helium-filled platform targets storage arrays and servers that demand high capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor.

Build integration

The bare drive measures 147mm in length, 101.6mm in width and 26.1mm in height. It requires a SAS backplane or HBA and a compatible 3.5-inch bay with adequate airflow. The helium-sealed design removes the need for a breather filter and reduces acoustic output compared with air-filled drives of similar speed.

Suitability

This drive suits administrators expanding RAID sets, backup targets or nearline archives where sequential throughput and density matter. It is not intended for desktop PCs lacking SAS controllers, for laptops, or for workloads that need the low latency of solid-state storage.
